Advanced

Below are explanations for advanced parameters to adjust the plugin to your needs. All parameters are optional.

refresh
Timer for periodic refresh of robot state. The default is auto. The options are:
auto Updates the robot state when a cleaning was started via homekit so that you can activate automations based on a successful cleaning.
120 Or any other time in seconds (minimum 60) is required if you want to receive robot state updates after starting the cleaning from outside of homekit (e.g. neato app or schedule).
0 Disables background updates completely.
